Poodle Hat is the eleventh studio album by "Weird Al" Yankovic, released in 2003.The album was unfortunately the beginning of a brief career slump for Al at the beginning of the New Millennium, largely due to Eminem revoking permission to shoot a video for "Couch Potato" (his parody of "Lose Yourself") at the last minute, therefore robbing the album of much promotion. A video for "Bob" was shot for that year's Al TV special, but did not receive rotation on MTV. Critical reception wasn't much better.Luckily for Al, he would bounce back a few years later with his next album.Tracklist: "Couch Potato"note Parody of Eminem's "Lose Yourself" (4:18) "Hardware Store" (3:44) "Trash Day"note Parody of Nelly's "Hot In Herre" (3:12) "Party at the Leper Colony" (3:38) "Angry White Boy Polka" (5:04) "Wanna B Ur Lovr" (6:14) "A Complicated Song"note Parody of Avril Lavigne's "Complicated" (3:40) "Why Does This Always Happen to Me?" (4:52) "Ode to a Superhero"note Parody of Billy Joel's "Piano Man" (4:53) "Bob" (2:29) "eBay"note Parody of Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way" (3:36) "Genius in France" (8:58)

No Celebrities Were Harmed: The narrator of "Genius in France" is a riff on comedian Jerry Lewis, who genuinely was hugely popular and highly acclaimed in France despite his kitschy image in the United States.

Shoddy Shindig: In "A Complicated Song", the singer attends a pizza party thrown by his friend, but no one else shows up. The two are left to sit and sadly eat pizza by themselves, and the singer takes the leftovers home; eating pizza at every meal for the next few days gives him constipation.

Motor Mouth: The bridge of "Hardware Store". He speaks at a rate of 242 words per minute, or all of the below in 30 seconds and in one breath. To date, Weird Al has never performed the song live because he doesn't think he can pull it off again.

Mood Whiplash: "Why Does This Always Happen To Me?" is of the "serious to silly" variety. It first appears to be a very straight account of a tragic earthquake in Peru, sung in a very earnest fashion in a song whose melody and tempo is quite fitting to the sad mood... then he reveals himself to be a jerk who's mad that this special report about the Peruvian earthquake interrupted his watching and taping of The Simpsons.

Lyrical Dissonance: "The Angry White Boy Polka" has angry, depressing, and/or irreverent lyrics originally from rap, punk, and nü metal acts incorporated into a polka with an upbeat melody. "Why Does This Happen To Me" is a relaxed piano-driven rock number with lyrics that depict a deadly 12 car pileup and the narrator violently stabbing his boss in the face.
